[Cholangiocarcinoma arising from biliary micro-hamartomas in a man suffering from hemochromatosis].
A case of cholangiocarcinoma arising from multiple bile duct hamartomas (von Meyenburg complexes) is reported in a 68-year-old man. This man has been treated for genetic hemochromatosis for 2 years. The diagnosis of cholangiocarcinoma was suspected by a systematic ultrasound test and made through the pathological examination of the resected specimen. Only six cases have already been reported. Our case is peculiar because it occurred on a genetic hemochromatosis.
